ReverseShellElementNormalBuilder Class

class NXOpen.CAE.ModelCheck.ReverseShellElementNormalBuilder

Bases: NXOpen.Builder, NXOpen.CAE.ModelCheck.ISelectionBuilder

Represents a NXOpen.CAE.ModelCheck.ReverseShellElementNormalBuilder used to reverse normals for specified shell elements.

You can reverse shell element normals by using either Builder.Commit() or NXOpen.CAE.ModelCheck.ReverseShellElementNormalBuilder.ReverseNormals(). The difference between these two methods is Builder.Commit() reverses the normals and updates normal display, but it does not return the shell elements which were reversed successfully. NXOpen.CAE.ModelCheck.ReverseShellElementNormalBuilder.ReverseNormals() reverses normals and returns the shell elements which were reversed successfully. Both of the methods are only available in fem context.

To create a new instance of this class, use NXOpen.CAE.ModelCheckManager.CreateReverseShellElementNormalBuilder()

New in version NX8.5.0.

Properties

Property Description
CheckScopeOption Returns or sets the check scope setting
DisplayType Returns or sets the display type
NegativeFaceColor Returns or sets the negative face color
PositiveFaceColor Returns or sets the positive face color
SelectionList Returns the selected objects to be checked.
Tag Returns the Tag for this object.

Methods

Method Description
Commit Commits any edits that have been applied to the builder.
CreateInconsistentElementEdgeGroup Creates inconsistent element edge group
Destroy Deletes the builder, and cleans up any objects created by the builder.
DisplayNormals Display normals of NXOpen.CAE.ModelCheck.ReverseShellElementNormalBuilder.SelectionList()
GetCommittedObjects For builders that create more than one object, this method returns the objects that are created by commit.
GetObject Returns the object currently being edited by this builder.
ReverseNormals Reverses normals specified in NXOpen.CAE.ModelCheck.ReverseShellElementNormalBuilder.SelectionList() and returns those elements whose normals were reversed successfully.
ShowResults Updates the model to reflect the result of an edit to the model for all builders that support showing results.
Validate Validate whether the inputs to the component are sufficient for commit to be called.

Validate

ReverseShellElementNormalBuilder.Validate

Validate whether the inputs to the component are sufficient for commit to be called.

If the component is not in a state to commit then an exception is thrown. For example, if the component requires you to set some property, this method will throw an exception if you haven’t set it. This method throws a not-yet-implemented NXException for some components.
